So many interesting things seemed to have happened in the last three episodes of Guzarish. Saad, who applied everywhere for a job, finally finds one. But where he gets the job is the interesting part as it is at a place which is owned by Zain’s friend, Faizan who happens to be Zara’s friend too. Initially Zara is over the moon, but when she finds out whom Saad will be working for, her excitement vanishes. As if she doesn’t have enough stress in her life, this too gets added upon her because if Saad ever finds out that Faizan is Zain’s friend, for sure he will think that Zain got him the job and that would really effect his ego and his relationship with Zara too. But, neither Saad or Faizan have a clue so thankfully work front all is well.

We all know that Phuppo stoops to any level to make sure Zara is degraded in front of Saad, so she adopts this new policy of being extra loving and sweet in front of him, but as soon as he leaves she turns in to a really mean mother in law who starts playing mind games with Zara. Mixing sleeping pills in her tea, hiding her phone, and hurting her foot on purpose so the poor girl doesn’t go alone with Saad to Islamabad (it was just Islamabad not France) are some of the things she has been up to.

Unfortunately Saad never takes Zara’s side and he always ends up believing his mother and blames Zara instead, which is very irritating for the viewers. The character of Saad is someone who is not strong at all. The irony of the situation is that even if he tries and gathers up the courage, Ammi aka Phuppo starts emotionally blackmails him by reminding him about her so called unconditional efforts in bringing him up and providing him with education and other necessities. Saad, under pressure, always ends up on apologizing to his mother and starts being harsh to his wife.

With the passage of time, Zara has changed from a love struck girl into a mature woman who is playing really hard to get and still unable to make her husband realize the gravity of her situation. Also, Zain makes a sensible decision right on time to marry Hina, but despite that decision, he is not fully in the relationship with her. His mind keeps thinking about Zara and he feels as if he is betraying her by moving ahead with someone else. Hina, who realizes this, urges Zain to face Zara in order to get away from his guilt. This scene is shot so very well with adequate back ground score and superb performances by Ahmad Ali and Yumna Zaidi. As soon as Zain tells Zara he is getting married a tear rolls down her eyes, but her voice remains calm. After a painful conversation between the two, Zain decides to make a final decision and gets engaged with immense disappointment.

Meanwhile, Khurram has gone abroad, but has not contacted Sara ever since; even Siddiqui uncle has not heard from him. Obviously everyone is curious about Khurram’s mystery. The viewers must have remembered the name Asher which Jaffar bhai used to take? Well he is in fact his son . Now who is the mother and what is the story there, that still hasn’t been revealed, but Hina and Zain know about it. On the other hand, Zara thinks she is expecting, but the reports come out negative, she doesn’t want to disappoint Saad so she hides it from him. Phuppo confronts her and once again Saad stops talking to her and shifts in to Ammi’s room.

There were few things which were really annoying in these episodes. It was Saad calling Zara sweetheart which looked so forced upon given the fact that Saad’s character is very typical. So the gestures didn’t match his persona at all. Then there was Sara, she still can’t act and the dialogue delivery is not at all realistic or natural except for few of her scenes with Zain. The direction and script of Guzarish however, continue to be very consistent. Even after 15 episodes, I am still clueless about how this play will end and what will be next in the lives of Sara, Zain, Saad, and Hina. So kudos to the technical side of Guzarish that keeps the audience all hooked up with it.
